Chapter 148 It's okay to poke a hole in the sky
Chapter 148 Even if you poke a hole in the sky, it won't hurt
When something happened to Chen Ying, the most anxious thing was Princess Pingyang.
She is the one who knows the inside story of Chen Ying's arrest, because Chen Ying killed Duke Xing and the son of Liu Zhenghui, the Minister of Justice. This crime is actually very serious. Killing has been one of the worst crimes in history, and murderers are often sentenced to death. Even bureaucrats who commit this crime often cannot escape the severe punishment of the law.
Although Chen Ying was the Duke of Liang and was ranked first in the official position, he still could not escape the severe punishment of the law in front of Wu Delu.
However, there are exceptions. The murderer can not only be exempted from death penalty, but also receive unanimous praise from the court to the people. This situation is to avenge his parents. In the second year of Wude, Dugu Ji and King Yang Tong of Yue conspired to eradicate Wang Shichong, and the matter was leaked. Wang Shichong sent someone to kill Gu Duji and Yang Tong. In the fourth year of Wude, Wang Shichong surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan saw that Wang Shichong had lost the hearts of the people and did not threaten him, so he pretended to be a big deal and let Wang Shichong go.
At that time, Lonely Cultivated De and his brothers conspired to pretend to be an angel of the Tang Dynasty and went to Wang Shichong to announce the imperial edict, asking Wang Shichong to accept the imperial edict. Wang Shichong hurriedly responded, but unexpectedly, those people immediately went all out, and the life of a generation of hero Wang Shichong ended.
Of course, there was also a woman named Zhao E in Jiuquan County. Her father was killed by a person from the same county. Zhao E silently looked for opportunities to avenge her father. It was not until more than ten years later that Zhao E killed her enemy in a hotel. Zhao E had already avenged her great revenge and surrendered herself in the county government. The county magistrate admired her behavior very much and was unwilling to enforce the law against her wishes. She was willing to resign and fled with Zhao E. However, Zhao E refused the good intentions of the county magistrate and only wanted to die. Later, Zhao E was released, and the local government established a arch for her to commend her. The senior officials of the court also sent her generous gifts.
The situation of exempting punishment from revenge for parents is very common in ancient history. The key to the problem is that Chen Ying and Liu Xuanyi had no hatred for killing their father and mother. There is another provision in the ancient law, which wrote in the Book of Rites: Qu Li 1: "Eighty-90 is Mao, and seven years is Mourning. Mao and Mourning, even if they are guilty, they will not be punished.
Mao is an elderly person over 80 years old, and mourns a child under seven years old. As long as these two types of people are not serious crimes of treason, even if they kill someone, they will not be punished. In Wute Rule, "Even if they are over 90 years old, they will not be punished if they have a death penalty."
Chen Ying neither belongs to the former nor the latter.
Besides, in public, he killed Liu Xuanyi with a serious evidence. As long as the three departments tried, they would definitely be beheaded by Qiu Hou.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuning stood up and said, "Yue'er, prepare for the car. I will enter the palace to meet the saint!"
However, just as Li Xiuning was about to board the carriage, Changsun Wugui stopped him in front of the carriage.
Seeing Changsun Wugui blocking in front, Li Xiuning said with a murderous look on his face: "Guanyin Maid, what are you going to do?"
Changsun Wugui walked towards the carriage slowly and said slowly: "Sanniang, is Chen Lang a reckless person?"
Hearing this, Li Xiuning calmed down instead.
Chen Ying is definitely not a reckless person. Didn’t he know how to kill someone and pay his life or pay the debt? When Hou Mo Chenqian took revenge on Su Hu, he did not kill Su Hu directly. Instead, he ordered Yu Qing to take his people to break Su Hu’s limbs and bones. The real purpose of this is one thing: killing people openly requires illegality. Even if it is handled secretly, it is necessary to hand over a scapegoat. Hou Mo Chenqian did not want to sacrifice a dead soldier, but also wanted to use this behavior to warn the Guanzhong clan family that Hou Mo Chen is not easy to mess with.
It takes a life to kill a person directly, but if you are injured or disabled, you just need to pay for it.
Li Xiuning hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "No!"
Changsun Wugui smiled faintly and said, "Sanniang, since you know that Chen Lang is not a reckless person, you can feel at ease!"
With Chen Ying's identity and status, if you want to kill someone, you don't need to do it yourself. Since now, the tiger Yi has spent 400,000 knots of money and grain every year. Changsun Wugui is very clear about this account. Although she doesn't know how many people there are in Tiger Yi, she knows that if she takes 400,000 knots of money, let alone killing Liu Xuanyi, even if Liu Zhenghui's family is killed, some people are willing to work hard for Chen Ying.
The best way to deal with a person is actually to make him worse than death. Chen Ying has a chance to break Su Hu's limbs and turn Liu Xuanyi into a useless person. At that time, Chen Ying will just pay some money and compensate Liu Zhenghui's family. The key is that Chen Ying is definitely not short of money.
However, Chen Ying killed Liu Xuanyi, and this motive made Changsun Wugui feel a little puzzled.
As Chen Ying said before, in this world, the most trustworthy thing is coincidence.
In Changsun Wugui's view, Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying must be working together to act a scene that will make Liu Zhenghui sacrifice his son's life. This means that the plan is even greater.
Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Can we say that I will do nothing?"
"Of course not!" Changsun Wugui said: "The palace...that place is hidden, but in fact it cannot hide the secret at all. Why don't Sanniang hear bad news suddenly? She can't afford to get seriously ill..."
Li Xiuning suddenly realized.
As Changsun Wugui said, there are some things in the palace that are inconvenient to say, but relatively speaking, Chenjiabao is easier to keep secret. Once Li Jiancheng learns that Li Xiuning has had a fetal aura and cannot afford to get sick, he will definitely move to Chenjiabao in Linli to visit Li Xiuning. The truth will be revealed by then.
Li Xiuning suddenly covered her lower abdomen and said with pain: "Come on, please pass it to the imperial doctor!"
...
The bright candle shines high, and in the warm pavilion of the Duke of Yingguo’s mansion, the light and shadows float.
Yang Rong was sleeping very lightly, but suddenly Wu Erniang pursed her mouth and began to cry loudly.
Yang Rong hurriedly got up and closed her eyes, and gently patted Wu Erniang.
After a long time, Wu Erniang still cried.
Yang Rong had to tentatively untie Wu Erniang's package, and found that she had neither pulled nor urinated, so she hugged Wu Erniang. Wu Erniang was obviously hungry and was sucking her milk hard.
Finally, when Wu Erniang was full, she fell asleep sweetly again.
At this time, Yang Rong no longer felt sleepy. She slowly stood up and suddenly a bloody smell surged into her breath. Yang Rong was quite sensitive to the smell of blood, and she hurriedly asked, "Come here!"
A woman in charge pushed the door and entered: "Madam, what are you asking?"
"What happened to the front yard?" Yang Rong frowned and asked, "How come there is a smell of blood?"
The manager stammered and said, "No... nothing!"
Yang Rong is proficient in worldly style and can tell at a glance that the manager of the police did not tell the truth. Yang Rong's face turned cold and shouted: "Give you another chance, you know, you dare to deceive me!"
"Madam, don't blame me!" The woman in charge took two steps back timidly. Although the warrior had already given instructions to not tell Yang Rong about Chen Ying's arrest, she really didn't dare not tell Yang Rong.
If you offend a warrior, you will be scolded for being hungry for two days and don’t give it to your meal. If you want to offend Yang Rong, then the Duke Yingfu will not have her place. At this time, unlike later generations, if you don’t leave your master here, you will have your own place to leave your master.
In this time and space, it is actually very difficult to solve the employment problem, especially for an old woman like her who is responsible for home affairs. If she loses this mission, her family will have to drink the northwest wind.
The manager thought about it and decided to tell Yang Rong and Pan out.
Then the manager told Yang Rong what she knew, such as how Liu Zhenghui proposed marriage to the warrior, how Liu Xuanyi cursed Wu Erniang as a bastard, how Chen Ying was angry, how he killed people in anger, how he was arrested, how he went to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison, etc.
Yang Rong's face changed drastically when she heard this.
Changsun Wugui is from the perspective of an outsider and can calmly analyze the problems, but Yang Rong is a fan of the authorities. She is angry at Chen Ying to protect her and her children. Of course, Yang Rong was moved by anger, but the most important thing is that she must not sit idly by and watch Chen Ying be tried by the three officials, and she is even more unwilling to watch Chen Ying beheaded by Qiuhou.
If Yang Rong had been talking about the past, at most, she would ask Yang Gongren or Yang Ze for help, and let them come forward and plead with Li Jiancheng.
However, now in charge of the huge business empire of Wu's business name, Yang Rong is the queen of this business empire.
Rescue and find connections, this is something that only poor people do, while Yang Rong uses her own means.
Yang Rong said to the manager: "Go and find Yang Shirong!"
The manager murmured, "Madam, now?"
"Yes, now, no matter which bitch Yang Shirong dies on, he will be limited to half an hour to come!" Yang Rong said loudly: "There are also timely rainy lambs from Chang'an City, Guanzhong hero Yu Zhengyang, let them come to see me!"
The servant in charge quickly ran out to pass the order.
...
"Do you know? General Husband was arrested and sent to the Heavenly Prison!"
In October of the fifth year of Kaiyuan, the news of violence began to spread in Chang'an.
The General of the Cavalry Chen Ying was the most prestigious military god in the Tang Dynasty. In this time and space, Chen Ying was much more famous than Li Jing and Li Shiji.
As Chen Ying walked into the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, there were many different reasons for Chen Ying's arrest.
"According to the brother-in-law of my second cousin's sister-in-law, the eldest son of my eldest son, General Chen was arrested for embezzling the military pay of the Anxi Army..."
This reason is more in line with the people's good deeds. In short, in their eyes, there is no good person who is an official, and all officials are greedy.
"You are so careless, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Anxi's military salary is only a few dollars, less than 300,000 guan!"
"You don't know this. It is said that General Chen is rich enough to rival a country, and he still cares about a mere 300,000 yuan? Don't forget that General Chen does not buy land or build a house. The four-wheeled carriages and farming tools that we ran in the Tang Dynasty all come from the Chen family's business. Will he care about such a little money?"
The rumors became more and more intense, and it was also said that Chen Ying was preparing to rebel and was discovered by His Majesty, the wise and powerful emperor, so he took the initiative.
No matter what kind of rumors it was, they pushed Chen Ying to the forefront.
...
When the sky was slightly bright, Yang Shirong, Liang Zan, and Yu Zhengyang came to Duke Ying's mansion with anxiety. Yang Rong said to the three people through the curtain: "I'll call you here today, there's a big deal!"
Yu Zhengyang hurriedly remissed and said with a smile: "What are the instructions for Madam?"
Yang Rong said: "I want to have people who can do things, the more people, the better. As long as I am not afraid of death, each person will be one thousand guan!"
Liang Zan said solemnly in his heart: "Madam, please give me instructions!"
Yang Rong said slowly: "I guess you all heard that the General of the Cavalry was taken to the Heavenly Prison. The Three Divisions will be tried soon. I need someone who is not afraid of trouble to rob the Heavenly Prison for me."
When Yu Zhengyang heard this, his face changed drastically. Is it so easy to rob the Heavenly Prison?
He dared not answer or agreed, he might not be able to get out of the house.
He couldn't help but look at Chang'an in time.
Liang Zan himself is Chen Ying's person, and in fact, there is no need for Yang Rong's instructions. Chen Ying had already had countless plans for this day. Including the head of the Heavenly Prison, the chief clerk, the prison guard, and all the people of Liang Zan, and they can also be said to be Chen Ying's person.
Although Chen Ying has been admitted to the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, he is definitely not nearly killed like Li Jiancheng was when he entered the Heavenly Prison.
The people Chen Ying bought are not high-ranking officials. The key is that these people are the real kings in prison.
Liang Zan took a deep breath and said, "Madam, don't worry, Liang will post hero posts to work together to plan big things!"
Yang Rong winked at Yang Shirong.
Yang Shirong moved out a small box.
Yang Rong pointed to the small box and said, "There are 100,000 guan in it, just a deposit. After the matter is completed, there will be a thank you very much!"
Liang Zan took the small box with a relaxed look on his face.
Liang Zan and Yu Zhengyang left the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion at a slightest level.
Yang Rong looked at the backs of the two and said, "Send someone to stare at them and dare to play tricks, do you know how to do it!"
Yang Shirong nodded and said, "The disciple understands!"
Yang Shirong was born in the family of Hongnong Yang and was also a slave for generations. Loyalty was naturally not a problem. He said in embarrassment: "Madam, our people are all in Anxi now!"
Yang Rong thought for a while and said, "Then let's go and transfer. When General Chen came, he would take the train and only half a month to come back from Anxi. He would transfer all the colorful guards back. Even if he could poke a hole in the sky, he would still rescue Chen Ying!"
There is Yang Rong's guardian army in Wucai City, with a small number of people, with only two thousand troops.
If two thousand men attacked Chang'an City, it would be impossible. If you want to rob the Heavenly Prison, as long as you plan carefully, it is not impossible.
Yang Shirong did not dare to neglect and hurriedly made arrangements.
